标题:The Rational Organisation of Dissent. Boundary concepts, boundary objects and boundary settings in the interdisciplinary study of natural resources management
摘要:“Interdisciplinary studies may be defined as a process of answering a question, solving a problem, or addressing a topic that is too broad or complex to be dealt with adequately by a single discipline or profession.” (Klein and Newell, 1996:393)1 1) science as we know it is organised in disciplines; This general definition of interdisciplinarity expresses the following practical reasoning: 2) the knowledge domain that a discipline covers is limited; 3) however, some problems, questions and topics require the input of more than one discipline; 4) for this category of broad and complex problems, questions and topics we (therefore) need an interdisciplinary approach that is able to integrate the different types of disciplinary knowledge in some way or the other.
